I took Roxie for her grooming at Petsmart this morning, and when all was said and done it cost me $75 (including tip to the groomer)! That was the most I have ever paid for grooming. Granted, DBF accidentally told them to brush her teeth when he dropped her off, which added to the total. I usually do that myself at home.

I need some tips here. I can't afford this kind of expense every two months. Should I try to learn to groom her myself? Is it very difficult? I am most worried about trimming her nails. Bathing her isn't an issue, I already do that myself all the time. It's the hair trimming and nail cutting that are the issues.

Help, suggestions, please?
